To summarise our recent pre-print: Autocycler, the automated consensus assembler, when used with Nanopore long-read only Enterobacterales assemblies, produces more complete chromosomes and plasmids, with an accuracy comparable to hybrid assemblies.
Figure 2 from my recently pre-printed manuscript on the completeness and accuracy of Nanopore long-read only bacterial genome assembly for Enterobacterales. a) tile plot of chromosome circularisation, with assembler on the x-axis and sample on the y-axis, shows that the consensus long-read only assembler, Autocycler, circularised more chromosomes at 95% (87/92) than any other long-read or hybrid assembler. b) complex upset plot of plasmid reconstruction, showing that the best plasmid reconstruction was achieved by long-read assemblers incorporating the separate plasmid assembly tool, Plassembler, namely Autocycler and Hybracter, reconstructing >96% of plasmids.

A highly inspiring week meeting fellow infectious disease researchers, and learning how to integrate genomics with infectious disease models! Feeling very fortunate to have been selected to attend this course. Thank you @training.ebi.embl.org for organising!

Pleased to see this pre-printed, highlighting the completeness/accuracy of @nanoporetech.com long-read genome assembly for clinical Enterobacterales: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks to colleagues @modmedmicro.bsky.social, @ukhsa.bsky.social, @genewiz.bsky.social and @oxfordbrc.bsky.social!
